Endometriosis is a common disorder of reproductive age group, defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the lining of the uterus. The disease carries enormous medical and economic burden on the society mainly due to the its symptoms and prolonged course. There is no promising non-invasive test to diagnose it and can only be diagnosed invasively by laparoscopy. The symptoms include chronic pelvic pain and infertility. The estimated prevalence of the disease is 10% which rises to 35 to 50% in women with infertility. Here we give a brief overview about the factors leading to infertility in patients with endometriosis.
